Actually, there's no difference between the two platforms in this
regard. OS X also has file associations, and when using them, Eclipse
launches but doesn't open the file when you double-click on it, just
like Windows. I just tried it on Leopard against Eclipse 3.3.1.1.
I guess this speaks well of Java's portability: even the bugs translate
perfectly. :)

Don't get me wrong, it's great for free, I like a lot of what they've
done, and I like the commoditization of development tools in general.
It just needs a little more baking time in the usability oven.
